Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for prerendering web content are described. A computing device determines a navigation event within a web browser based at least in part on a prerender tag embedded within a web page. The prerender tag includes a ranking value used to rank links to prerender and a time parameter. The computing device requests content associated with the navigation event and prerenders the content associated with the navigation event in an alternate instance of the web browser that is hidden from a user of the web browser. The computing device determines whether the user has selected the navigation event within a time period based on the time parameter associated with the prerender tag. The alternate instance of the web browser containing the prerendered content in a current user instance of the web browser may be displayed. The computing device may discard the prerendered content.
